Release Notes / Version 10.1.2.0 / Jul 4, 2025

Highlights

Release Information

The Znode 10.1.2.0 release introduces enhancements, performance upgrades, and several minor bug fixes.

What’s New

Pricing Import Enhancements

• Znode now supports importing multiple price lists from a single file.
• Admin Changes: The Select Pricing dropdown in System Settings → Imports → Add New has been deprecated for the "Pricing" import type.
• Template Update: A new PricelistCode column is added and positioned first in the pricing import template, followed by other columns.
• PricelistCode Validation: Admin users can enter a unique alphanumeric PricelistCode (up to 100 characters) with allowed special characters. The API enforces these validations to ensure data integrity.

Unassociate/Remove System-Defined Status from Order Classes (Beta)

• Administrators can now unassociate system-defined statuses from order classes via the admin console. Previously, this could only be done through backend changes.
• Default Behavior: System-defined statuses remain associated with order classes, but can be unassociated if they do not trigger specific actions (e.g., "Canceled" status remains fixed due to its role in order cancellation and refunds).
• Improves flexibility and ease of status management, ensuring better alignment with business workflows.

Mobile-Responsive Typeahead Search Implementation (Beta)

• Introduced a mobile-optimized typeahead search functionality to enhance the search experience for users on mobile devices.
  As users begin typing in the search bar, dynamic and relevant suggestions appear in real time, enabling faster and more intuitive navigation.
